Tucked in among the sea of major crossover reveals at this year's New York International Auto Show, there were plenty more treats and hidden gems. Here's a look at some of the highlights:
Genesis Essentia Concept
One of the few true "wow" moments at this year's show was the unveiling of the Genesis Essentia concept, which illustrates the company's vision for an electric Gran Turismo. It integrates Athletic Elegance, the name Genesis has given to its newest design language.
2019 Infiniti QX80 Limited
Infiniti introduced the 2019 QX80 Limited in New York, which adds unique styling elements to the brand's top-of-the-line SUV such as dark machine-finished 22-inch wheels, a matte silver open-pore ash wood trim, and satin chrome elements.
2019 Acura RDX A-Spec
This is the Acura RDX A-Spec, a sportier-looking version of the three-row SUV that adds numerous finish updates such as 20-inch Shark Grey alloy wheels, a new front fascia, body-color lower sills, larger-diameter exhaust finishers, sports seats in red or black leather with black Alcantara inserts, and high-contrast stitching.
2019 Mercedes-AMG C 63
The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 made its world debut with a stout set of updates. Although power output remains the same, it now comes with AMG's nine-speed automatic transmission, a standard electronic limited-slip differential, and cosmetic spruce-ups.
2018 Volvo V90
Here for its North American debut is a car we just can't get enough of, the Volvo V60. Since we already know that far too many people will ignore it, do a good deed and behold it now in all its wagon-y glory.
Mazda Kai Concept
Believe it or not, photos don't do the Mazda Kai concept justice. It's a stunner. If the production Mazda3 this is expected to predict looks half this good, we'll all still be better off for its existence.
2019 Kia Sedona
Kia quietly applied a refresh to the Sedona minivan and showed it here in New York. On top of updated looks and the addition of an eight-speed automatic, a new rear-seat infotainment system will launch with the 2019 model with smartphone-mirroring capability.
2019 Kia K900
And then there's the shouted-from-the-rooftops version, the all-new Kia K900 flagship sedan. Kia says the K900 has been "reimagined in every way" and will be the company's most technologically advanced vehicle ever.
1972 Lamborghini Miura SV
At the south end of the show, well outside the flow of traffic, the intrepid can find a handful of eye candy like this 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV...
1931 Duesenberg Model J and a 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio Cabriolet
... a 1931 Duesenberg Model J and a 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio Cabriolet...
Newman/Haas Lola T9400 IndyCar
... and a real treat for race fans, the Newman/Haas Lola T9400 that Mario Andretti raced in the 1994 PPG Indy Car World Series season during his Arrivederci Mario tour. These classic cars and more are on loan to the show from the Saratoga Automotive Museum.
